For Buyers

Buying a home, step by step

No jargon, no pressure. Here's exactly what happens, in the order it happens.

  1. 01

    Get pre-approved

    Talk to a lender before you look. It takes about a day and it tells you exactly what you can spend. In this market, sellers rarely take an offer without it.

  2. 02

    Make your list

    Sit down with Aaron and sort the must-haves from the nice-to-haves — commute, schools, yard, garage. It saves weekends of driving to the wrong houses.

  3. 03

    Tour homes

    Aaron sets up showings around your schedule and points out the things photos hide: roof age, grading, water lines, neighbors. You'll know what you're really looking at.

  4. 04

    Write a strong offer

    Price is only part of it. Timing, contingencies, and earnest money all matter. Aaron builds an offer that competes without putting you at risk.

  5. 05

    Inspection and appraisal

    You get an independent inspection. If something real turns up, Aaron negotiates repairs or credits — or tells you when it's time to walk.

  6. 06

    Close and get the keys

    Final walkthrough, signing, keys. Aaron stays on top of the lender and title company so closing day is boring — which is exactly what you want.
